Rangers vow not to let poor January finish turn into another freefall
NY Post
A revitalizing January took the Rangers to the 50-game mark of their 2024-25 season, which was essentially hanging in the balance just a month ago.
The way it ended, however, had shades of the dismal 4-15 stretch that nearly doomed their playoff hopes.
“I think we’ve been playing some good hockey here in January,” Mika Zibanejad said after the Blueshirts were blanked 4-0 Tuesday night against the Hurricanes. “Think about this one, feel whatever you feel after a game like this and then we move on.”
The consensus in the Rangers locker room was to focus on how well this month has gone for them.
Given how drained team morale was from mid-November through December, that’s a must for this Rangers team.
And they aren’t in the wrong for celebrating their 8-2-3 record to start 2025.
